I was disappointed that development of Milkdrop had died two years ago. At least now it will be able to be under development again, which is a good thing considering it's my favourite vis and the favourite vis of all of my friends nerdy enough to know what a vis is (and aware that Winamp actually has preferences to change it).
I remember when I first started using it my computer was a Pentium 233 with 64MB of RAM, but since I had a 3D graphics card it ran at a reasonable framerate and I have been hooked since. It especially complements Pink Floyd's DSotM, but now I'm getting too offtopic :P

Oh, "Linux" is headed in the same direction? Since when does Linux have anything to do with GUIs. Or did you mean XFree/X.org?

As for offloading graphics work from the CPU to the GPU, duh...good idea. But that's the way things have been since the early 90s.

Yours ect.
